The Delicate Female Side Character Refuses to Be a Foil [The 1970s]

[Please bookmark my next story] The Softie Enjoys Gossip and Shows at the Family Compound [1960s]. The blurb is at the very end~

Xiuxiu unexpectedly acquires a farm space. Before she can even celebrate and think it over, she learns that she is merely the foil female character in a novel. The heroine is hardworking and kind, while she herself is terribly delicate and spoiled.

Although Xiuxiu doesn't believe the claim that she is a foil character, she still starts keeping a quiet eye on the hardworking heroine in that novel, Yan Chunyan, who lives in the same courtyard compound.

The neighbors do often compare her with Yan Chunyan, and plenty of them praise Yan Chunyan as hardworking and kind. But if Xiuxiu had to toil every day like Yan Chunyan, she would be very unwilling. Her parents dote on her, and now she has a farm space to rely on. Why put herself through that?

Yan Chunyan is reborn and vows to make something of her life this time. The first thing she plans to do is trample Jiang Xiuxiu, who lives across the hall.

She cannot forget the suffering Jiang Xiuxiu caused her in her past life. Her parents, her husband, even her children, spent their whole lives talking about how wonderful Jiang Xiuxiu was. Yan Chunyan could say that she lived in Jiang Xiuxiu's shadow her entire previous life.

Since Heaven has given her a chance to be reborn, she will prove to everyone that she, Yan Chunyan, is the best!

Next is the blurb for my upcoming story. If you're interested, please bookmark it~

One day, Liang Manqiu suddenly discovers that she is living in a book. The heroine is her sister, Liang Manchun, with whom she has a terrible relationship. As for Liang Manqiu, she is merely the heroine's delicate younger sister, who dies young in the book.

Most of the book is about how her sister humiliates the awful people, manages the household, and looks after her three stepchildren so the male lead has nothing to worry about.

Liang Manqiu finishes reading the little booklet, her face full of confusion.

She dies young? She can't believe that. And after marrying her childhood sweetheart and following him to his army posting, she becomes so thin and sallow from hunger? But she has a farm space! The booklet's account of her life after marriage is ridiculous. It's fake, definitely fake.

But later she discovers that while not everything in the booklet can be trusted, some of it is surprisingly accurate. For instance, the man she has known since childhood really does come back from the army on leave and propose to her family...

And then there's her sister, Liang Manchun, who also meets the male lead and makes a scene at home, insisting she wants to marry him and become the stepmother to his three children...
